Water Quality Testing
Water quality testing is a critical process in environmental monitoring and compliance. This service ensures that water samples meet stringent standards set by regulatory bodies such as ISO 62235:2019, ASTM D874-19, EN 12268-1 to -4, and IEC 62709:2017. The goal is to provide accurate, reliable data that can inform decision-making processes in various industries.
Water quality testing encompasses a wide range of parameters including pH levels, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a concentrations, and more. These tests are essential for understanding the health of water bodies and ensuring safe drinking water standards. The testing process involves the collection of samples from various sources such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and wastewater treatment plants.
The laboratory uses advanced instrumentation to ensure precision in measurements. For instance, a pH meter can measure acidity or alkalinity with high accuracy, while an atomic absorption spectrophotometer is used for trace metal analysis. The results are then analyzed against set benchmarks to determine compliance with regulatory standards.
Water quality testing plays a pivotal role in several sectors including municipal water supply, industrial processes, agricultural runoff control, and environmental conservation efforts. By providing comprehensive reports on water quality, the laboratory supports stakeholders in making informed decisions that contribute positively to public health and the environment.
